Question

In a school having strength of 740 students, 35% study French. How
many do not learn French?

Answer 1

First know that how many are studying French percent
It is given=35%
Then, 100%-35%=65%
65%= are not studying French
Given, total students =740 students
If you know percentage formula
It is total students x studying French
We can know that
740x35%
= 740x 35/100
=74x35/10
=37x7
=259 students
Therefore, 259 students are studying French.
= total students - French studying students
=740-259
=481
Therefore, 481 are not studying French
